|
The trail is dark and dusty |
|
The road is kinda rough |
|
But the clearer road up yonder |
|
With the cinders on the side. |
|
Trails of troubles |
|
And your roads of battle, |
|
They lead paths of victory |
|
We shall walk |
|
I walked down to the valley |
|
Turned my head up high. |
|
Seen that silver linin' |
|
That was hangin' in the sky |
|
Trails of troubles |
|
And your roads of battle, |
|
They lead paths of victory |
|
We shall walk |
|
The mountain was a movin' |
|
The hummin' of its wheels, |
|
Told me of the new day |
|
it was coming across the fields |
|
Trails of troubles |
|
And your roads of battle, |
|
They lead paths of victory |
|
We shall walk |
|
The gravel road is bumpy, |
|
It's a hard old road to ride, |
|
But the good road is a-waitin' |
|
And the boys it ain't far off. |
|
Trails of troubles |
|
And your roads of battle, |
|
They lead paths of victory |
|
We shall walk |
